Training needs analysis form for teams and individuals
Training is wasted when it does not match what people need. This form asks for the person's name and role, the skills they want to improve, where they feel they lack skills today, the format they prefer and how many hours a month they can set aside.
Who it is for
- HR teams and team leaders planning a training budget
- Trainers who prepare a programme for a group
- Small companies deciding which skills to invest in
When to use it
Send it to everyone in the team before you choose a course or a provider. Because the answers come in one consistent shape, you can compare them and spot the skills that come up again and again, such as communication or project management.

Questions people ask
- Can people choose several skills?
- Yes. The skills question uses checkboxes, so people can pick everything that applies.
- Is the time question required?
- No. It is optional, and it is a scale rather than an exact number of hours.
- Does it recommend courses?
- No. It gathers information so that you can decide what to offer or buy.
